One day recently I got off the plane, and I thought the person was going to say Kevin Nash, but they knew me as Guard Engleheart on The Longest Yard, Nash said. I said, Yeah, thats me.

I always wonder about the mentality of people who need to point out that wrestling's fake. Apply that to any other medium. Books, films, TV, plays. Imagine how insanely idiotic you'd sound pointing out that any of those things are fake.

More insanely idiotic are the "OMG OUTRAGED!!!" pro wrestling fans and pro wrestlers (like dumbass Bull Dempsey) who don't understand the point Dana White is making and have their heads so far up the asses of their heroes or themselves and their gimmicks that they don't understand that he's 100% right.
Dana White was reacting to a pro wrestling fan who thinks a Ronda Rousey card should be $9.99 like the WWE.
In this case, he was 100% justified in pointing out that pro wrestling is fake, and his sport is real, thus, a price difference.
It's just stupid to say UFC should be $9.99 because WWE is. Why? Because Rousey's fight tonight is real. Pro Wrestling is fake.
The biggest stars in WWE can, and do, work 200+ shows a year. Why? Because it's fake. Nobody has to have a huge camp to get ready. Nobody is cutting weight. If done correctly, nobody hurts anybody else, because they are trying not to. Nobody bleeds, because they are trying not to, and are told not to. All because it's fake.
The biggest stars in UFC are lucky to work 3-4 shows a year. Because it's real. They have to have a training camp for each fight. They cut weight sometimes to the edge of human limits. They are trying to hurt each other. Even a winner often comes out of a fight with serious injuries -- broken bones, concussions, cuts, and other injuries and can be suspended for months by the regulators to recover.
So a show with a big UFC star is more rare than a show with a top star of pro wrestling, by the nature of the fact that one sport is real, and the other is fake.
Rare things cost more money than things you can get 200+ times a year. It's basic logic. The economics of this -- rare things cst more than commonplace things -- are something we accept every day.
Yet somehow this basic logic escapes wrestling fans when they get all emotional. As a pro wrestling fan, it makes me cringe, it's so embarrassing.

I know the focus of this is supposed to be Cena's nose/face (and they look really bad), but the woman checking out Nikki's ass makes this picture.
I'd like to know if Borash was going to make that donation beforehand. He most likely was going to help that guy out but he shouldn't be doing it just to spite Dana. Also a bit rich to do that when TNA fired Jesse Sorensen after promising him a job for life when he was paralysed.
and employing/allowing Kurt Angle to wrestle.

People in the crowd were crying legit tears when Elizabeth and Randy Savage got back together at Wrestlemania 7.

He is still trending on twitter over this.
I don't really care about his comments but its odd the head of UFC is involved in a twitter war with wrestling fans and before was in a twitter battle with a 14 year old.
